MOON WALK

On March 25, 1983, Michael Jackson took one small, backward step onto a television stage — and one giant leap into dance-floor history. That is “Moon Walk”.The thin, angular pop star was only 24 years old when he took an obscure break-dancing move and transformed it into one of the most recognizable routines of all time.

The moonwalk is so fluid, so effortless — and yet when amateurs slip on some old gym socks and try to glide across a kitchen floor, it always turns out horribly.After his death, many people are trying to learn this marvelous dance in memory of him. Want to learn it, maybe the following steps can give you big help!The following steps are found by TIME. Please follow the following steps one by one:

Step 1: Start with your feet together.

Step 2: Raise your right heel so that you're standing on the ball of your right foot.

Step 3: Shift your weight onto that still raised right foot so that the left one feels weightless.

Step 4: Lower your right heel slowly while moving your (still weightless) left foot backward until the toes of your left foot are aligned with the heel of your right foot. If you do it right, it should look like your left foot is floating backward across the floor.

Step 5: Lift your left heel and shift your body weight so that you're now standing on the ball of that foot.

Step 6: Repeat steps 4 and 5, this time with the opposite feet.

So that's the moonwalk. It's actually a very simple dance — and one Jackson didn't invent out of thin air. If you're having trouble, try practicing in your socks. Keep your chin up and try it again. It would be better if you wear a hat. May you succeed.

Jackson's music genre takes roots in R&B, Motown's music, pop and soul. He once said that: “I’ve always wanted to be able to tell stories, you know, stories that came from my soul. I’d like to sit by a fire and tell people stories – make them see pictures, make them cry and laugh, take them anywhere emotionally with something as deceptively simple as words. I’d like to tell tales to move their souls and transform them. I’ve always wanted to be able to do that. Imagine how the great writers must feel, knowing they have that power. I sometimes feel I could do it. It’s something I’d like to develop. In a way, songwriting uses the same skills, creates the emotional highs and lows, but the story is a sketch. It’s quicksilver. There are very few books written on the art of storytelling, how to grip listeners, how to get a group of people together and amuse them. No costumes, no makeup, no nothing, just you and your voice, and your powerful ability to take them anywhere, to transform their lives, if only for minutes.”

Here is a book written by Jackson himself recommend to you. Moon Walk. In Moonwalk, Michael Jackson shares his personal feelings about some of his most public friends, friends like Diana Ross, Berry Gordy, Quincy Jones, Paul McCartney, Fred Astaire, Marlon Brando, and Katharine Hepburn. He talks openly about the crushing isolation of his fame, of his first love, of his plastic surgery, and of his wholly exceptional career and the often bizarre and unfair rumors that have surrounded it. All of these he never talked openly before.
